Q:  What is icing?
A:  Icing is when either your or your opponents health falls below 20.  When the health of any player falls below 20, they have been 'Iced'.
  • You get iced when you or your opponents health drops under 20 points during a fight.
  • You can lose a fight and still ice a player - you just need to keep attacking until their health drops below 20.

  • Players who are grayed out on the fight list are already iced and will not count if you attack them.

  1. It was scheduled to start last May 19, 2011... But it only appeared just today on my Events Module, May 24, 2011..!!! That means, I missed the event for 5 days..!!! Damn..!!! I'm really left out..!!! Zynga, you are ensuring maximum enjoyment of players, but how about us..??? We're also players here, we have the right to enjoy it too, but on this situation, you're as if just satisfying high level players, and to think we don't get the equal right..!!! If you'll take a sneak into the game, almost all players in the Fight List are grayed out, meaning they're all iced..!!! And when i power attack a live one, no matter how many times I attacked, on the end, it will not ice the enemy I hardly spent my stamina on... Please, if you want our satisfaction, fix this..!!! It seems only fast computers and totally tough players only benefit in this..!!!
